TheGeneral, I think you're the only other NWebber who plays LotRO. I've been playing for a few months now. I started out with a minstrel, got him up to level 33 and got bored with it and switched to a hunter, which I've got up to level 43, about 10,000 XP away from level 44. I've got a few others, but I just use them them for crafting stuff.

I haven't heard of that one. I play Farm Town (which I'm really terrible at ), Mafia Wars, which I'm okay at but still get whacked a lot despite my best efforts , and just recently got into Farkle, which kind of reminds me of Yahtzee.

Cool, glad to see a fellow Lotro-er I started playing about 19 months ago, I leveled a burg to 50 but wasn't really satisfied with my role in fellowships. So I made a captain and got to level 60, and am much happier It's a great game in my opinion. Still haven't beaten the watcher though

For any WoW players on here I'm only 4k gold shy of finally being able to make a Mekengineer motorcycle. Just 4k...if I throw in a bunch of dailies and get some regular quest work done I might could just pull it off by the end of next month. I'm the biggest spendthrift on that game...I don't put in a cent (or copper, if you prefer) into anything unless I absolutely have to, and it's finally paying off.

Lessee... I have a problem with starting and not finishing. My husband is working on getting me into the gaming world.

I finished the first two-ish levels of Diablo on the PC. So far I find it boring, but I've been promised a pink xbox 360 controller if I finish it, sooo...

When I'm super-bored, or in need of a work-out, I play Dance Dance Revolution on the regular xbox. I really need to finish Knights of the Old Republic II on that, too... but I've been avoiding it since forgetting to save and losing a bunch of progress. No, I haven't gotten far in it, but still...

In the meantime, I'm working through Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga on the 360. I. Love. This. Game. I know, it's not serious gaming, but it's awesome. I've finished The Phantom Menace and am now half-way through Attack of the Clones. It's slow-going, but at least I can say I'm doing it on my own. After I finish it, I think I'm gonna play Mass Effect and then either Bioshock or Prince of Persia.

I have a ton of games that I will need to get around to playing at some point, but it's hard when I still am not entirely sure of what I'm doing. I'm much better at Bejweled Blitz or Solitaire. ^_^

That's where I am in a nutshell... (got into gaming really after acting in The Guild...)

Diablo is a pretty old game so the graphics aren't really much to look at anymore. I still have my original copy from 1996 and my friends and I poured a lot of time into that game in multiplayer. The single player game is kind of ho-hum, really. But if you play it multi-player it's actually a whole lot more fun. Diablo II is worlds better in every way, so if you can get through Diablo I it becomes a lot more enjoyable!

KotoR I was a really great game but KotoR II was kind of...almost good. I think the developers got a little lazy towards the end because the ending is really confusing and anti-climactic. If you can find a copy of the first game it's great fun though!

Mass Effect is a fun game and there's a lot of ways to play your character. The plot is pretty good although elements of it have been recycled from other games. I absolutely love Bioshock and found that to be a deep and immersive game filled with a ton of theme. It's not quite as scary as it's spiritual predecessor System Shock 2, but you'll have a moment or two where you may jump out of your seat. Play it at night with the lights off for added effect! I haven't touched a Prince of Persia game since...oh, 1991? So I can make no comments there.

Is this all on X-Box 360 or are you playing some of these on the PC? If you are playing some on the PC (notably Diablo) then might I recommend picking up a copy of Titan Quest? It takes the same Diablo/Diablo II style setup but all of the action takes place in ancient Greece and Egypt and you get to outfit yourself like a Spartan.
